Feminism today is not about equality, but superiority. Its the "I've got
mine, screw you." mentality of politics.... If we men complain
...................... ==================================
The only men that complain are the mindless patriarchal social conservatives that have an agenda of getting their flock riled up. It is a black or white thing with these less than intelligent people.
The right wing fascist goons like Rush, the Christian Reconstructionists, and their like stereotype women activists-feminists into one group. They call themselves "libertarian"; that is ludicrous and the typical deceptive logorrhea for the right. They are "Guns and Gawd" people only. They would scrap the establishment clause in a second if they could............jim

To accuse me, or any other woman on this list of having a problem with men as a gender is absolute nonsense. The most beloved person in my life is a man, and a very masculine one at that.
I view your diatribe as a revealing of what you think of women, more than of what we think of men. I hope that you will think about that, and stop using transhumanist and libertarian ideas as a platform for your own anger towards women. Until then, I do not plan to respond to any more of this.
